Everyday people covet my beauty

At night, the moonlight gently climbed to the corner of Rose Castle.

The roses in the castle are invincible in all seasons. At this time, the moon is bright and bright in the deep night sky, and the pale silver moonlight is like a flowing mist, covering the roses in the garden dimly.After the light yellow and light white roses have bloomed for a season, the castle garden is now purely red roses, including alizarin red, rose red, purple red, bright red... all kinds of red roses are full of fragrance, blooming delicately and beautifully. In the moonlight, the pale silver moonlight enveloped them gently, like lively and fragrant beauties, standing among the flowers and still holding the pipa half-hidden.

This kind of scenery is undoubtedly very beautiful. Standing in such a beautiful scenery, Gu Qingxuan is more beautiful than all the roses combined.

He walked into the garden alone, unnoticed by almost anyone at the dinner party.The castle not far away was brightly lit, and the latest starship of the Empire, the Bourdia, was hovering proudly above the castle, opening its cockpit and serving as the main venue for the dinner.In order to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to spy, all the protective light shields and magic circles of Rose Castle were opened, overlooking the colorful past from a distance, showing 12 points of magnificence.Such a magnificent dinner is rare even in the history of the entire empire, and it is specially held for the new crown prince.The attitude of the royal family is not insignificant.It's a pity that such solemnity seems to be in vain now. Not only did the protagonists of the banquet show no sympathy, they were even unwilling to stay longer at the banquet.

With a tired expression, Gu Qingxuan leaned against half of the specially made old stone pillar, dark red vines twisted and twisted to climb up, and the heart-shaped leaves stretched out in all directions.One of the leaves happened to be hanging next to his ear, the color was as bright red as blood jade, which further accentuated his white complexion.

Perhaps because of drinking at the dinner party, the emblem on Gu Qingxuan's forehead was revealed at some point, and it was half-covered under the black hair on his forehead, and his normally indifferent eyes were also blurred by the alcohol. It looked watery, and gave birth to a somewhat charming and affectionate appearance out of thin air.

That kind of look that seems charming and affectionate.

Gu Yuan dares to say that no one knows better than him the indifference and self-restraint beneath the sentimental surface. When he smiles and looks at you, when your figure is reflected in those dark pupils. At this moment, you often have an illusion out of thin air, the illusion that the person seems to be in love with you, such concentration and affection make you feel ashamed, dry mouth, and heartbeat like a drum, but when you are This sea of ​​affectionate encouragement, when you want to take a step forward and really hold the other person in the palm of your hand, the indifference in the depths of his eyes will rush like cold water, drenching you to the brim.

Gu Yuan has been drenched in such cold water from head to toe so many times that he seems to be able to accept his fate and accept the fact that the person he admires will soon belong to someone else.However, at this moment, when he stood behind the flowers and looked at Gu Qingxuan who was bathed in the moonlight not far away, the courage that belonged to a newborn calf returned to him again.

The moonlight tonight is so beautiful, the roses in the garden are in full bloom, and the appearance of Gu Qingxuan standing alone under the moonlight is so beautiful that it makes Gu Yuan dizzy.He couldn't help but move forward, expressing his heart when he wanted to get closer. Unexpectedly, when he took two or three steps, Gu Qingxuan in front of him turned his head as if aware of it.

"Who?" He cast a cold glance at first, then stretched his brows and eyes after a while, and said lazily: "It's you...why, didn't you stay at the dinner party today?"

After walking a little closer, Gu Yuan saw Gu Qingxuan more clearly, and the emblem on his forehead was also more obvious: there is no doubt that Gu Qingxuan drank a little too much tonight, and this news made Gu Yuan feel a little nervous. happiness.He didn't expect Gu Qingxuan to be drunk to a certain extent - it is almost impossible for people like them to have sex after drinking - he just simply guessed that Gu Qingxuan might be in a bad mood tonight.

There are not many things in this world that can cause Gu Qingxuan's mood to change, it can even be said to be very limited, and [-]% of them revolve around the few people who are qualified to influence his mood.Although Gu Yuan is reluctant, he has to admit that he himself is not one of them.If he died suddenly due to some kind of accident, like what happened to Lanser, Gu Qingxuan might have a momentary mood swing... But Gu Yuan really didn't want this kind of treatment.

In the final analysis, he just didn't want to admit that to Gu Qingxuan, he was just a slightly special part of the crowd.

Thinking about this reality frustrates him.

Gu Yuan stood behind a clump of roses, staring at Gu Qingxuan who was not far away from him. The latter looked still - still so beautiful, but as time passed, he could feel the blood aroused in his heart. As it gradually cooled down, his heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and he knew that he was about to lose that desperate courage...and this kind of courage was exactly what he needed to hold tightly in his hands.

Trying to breathe as gently as possible, Gu Yuan took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, imagining that all his messy thoughts were wrapped in this breath, and were expelled from his body together.

Then he tidied up his clothes and showed a tried and tested smile.

"Yeah, you know me, I just..." Gu Yuan scratched his hair irritably at this point, this action is very rare for him: "...I just... just... gone."

He gave up.Gu Yuan rubbed his face, and said directly to Gu Qingxuan, "I just found out that you are not at the dinner party."

"Ah, the banquet."

A little sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Qingxuan's face.Gu Yuan was a little surprised: he clearly felt Gu Qingxuan's rejection of this dinner, and such an attitude rarely appeared in Gu Qingxuan.

His surprise was fleeting, and was quickly covered up by Gu Yuan, but Gu Qingxuan still keenly captured his surprise.

"There's nothing to be surprised about, you should know that the main purpose of this banquet tonight is to find me a partner..." He quickly glanced at Gu Yuan and frowned slightly: "Or do you mean you didn't know this? They didn't tell you about it?"

Gu Qingxuan's tone was half surprised and half doubtful. After Gu Yuan fully understood the meaning of his words, he felt that his beating heart stopped all of a sudden, and it even disappeared completely, only in his chest. Leave a void.

Yes, indeed no one told him about it.

Theoretically speaking, this matter should not have happened at all. After all, Gu Yuan is the current head of affairs of the imperial family. From the preparation to the end of this banquet, every step should be clear to him.In fact, it was true, from the berthing angle of the starship above the castle to the types of flowers on the dinner table, he knew almost everything about the dinner tonight, except for one thing.

"...they didn't tell me."

"They didn't tell me." Gu Yuan thought, he felt that his feverish mind suddenly calmed down, and he quickly understood the reason for what happened in a short time.

It seems that the little speculation in his heart has successfully turned into reality. The relationship between Gu Qingxuan and Caesar has indeed encountered some kind of crisis, so much so that the royal family tried to make Gu Qingxuan find a new one by arranging a blind date dinner. the right companion.This may be good news, but the bad news is that he himself does not seem to meet the royal selection criteria at all.

They didn't even let him know the news on purpose.

"What should I think?" Gu Yuanpin smacked on this matter, with a complicated smile on his face: "They didn't tell me about it, obviously, I'm not qualified in a certain way, so in this selection My partner's game is out from the start. But if I'm not important enough in person, or in his heart, why should they go out of their way to not tell me about it?"

Chewing on this news over and over again, Gu Yuan's heart seemed to grow back bit by bit.

He felt that he had almost figured out what the royal family thought.

There is no doubt that I or the Gu family are completely insignificant pawns to the royal family of the Galactic Empire, belonging to the level that can be crushed by just stretching out your feet.So naturally, his name, Gu Yuan, would not appear in the directory of the blind date dinner, because the royal family believed that he did not have that qualification at all.

As for the identity of the royal family chief?That's just a position. After being deprived of many powers, this position can hardly explain anything. It is just a little honor that His Majesty the Emperor of the Galactic Empire bestowed on his family who was once a secret agent. Gu Yuan himself The effort put into it doesn't make it shine either.

Yes, it is true that the royal family personally excluded themselves from that list, and Gu Yuan is more and more sure of this.But he did not feel depressed because of this, but gradually cheered up.

"Maybe it means I'm special to him."

Gu Yuan said to himself: "Otherwise, they wouldn't need to hide me at all, would they?"

Indeed, if Gu Yuan is just an insignificant passer-by, there is no need for the royal family to hide the news of the blind date dinner.He felt his dwindling courage return.Gu Yuan raised his head, looked straight at Gu Qingxuan, his eyes seemed to be burning with dark flames: "I - I have always wanted to say something to you."

"Ok?"

Gu Qingxuan didn't look at him, he just lowered his head, watching something in his palm playfully.Even the response was full of indifference, it was just a rising tone of courtesy, the courage that Gu Yuan summoned up could not arouse even a single look from him.

But this is not enough to make Gu Yuan flinch.

It must be admitted that he was indeed afraid of confessing to Gu Qingxuan, but that was only because he was afraid of the loss that would follow—he felt that he could not accept the consequences of losing Gu Qingxuan, even the possession itself was illusory— Once a decision was made, Gu Yuan calmed down instead, calm and sharp. Even if Gu Qingxuan's cold air turned into an iceberg, it was not enough to scare him.

"I have something to say to you."

Gu Yuan said softly: "I think you probably already guessed what I'm going to say, since I didn't call you master now..."

"Hush." ​​Gu Qingxuan suddenly raised a finger.

This is an unmistakable silence gesture. Even though Gu Yuan didn't know what happened at this time, he still stopped his words: he never disobeyed Gu Qingxuan's orders, no matter whether he was calling him "Master" or not. .

As a result, Gu Yuan resented his habitual obedience in the next second.

He saw Gu Qingxuan turning his head to the side, a definite smile curled up on his lips.

It was a smile that Gu Yuan was extremely familiar with.

He knew who that smile belonged to.

Gu Yuan felt his heart sinking heavily, he turned his head with a stiff neck, and found unexpectedly and in great despair that the person coming from that direction was indeed someone he was extremely familiar with.

He is very familiar with him—and at the same time, he is eager for the other party to ascend to heaven—Cesar Amersfeld.

Caesar strode towards Gu Qingxuan, he tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, even though the paths in the garden were winding and winding, he refused to slow down at all.

Although he seemed to be smiling, those who knew him well knew that this well-known young talent seldom smiled—except when he was in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.At that time his smile looked warm and soft, completely different from the grim smile now.Now Caesar seems to be smiling too, but this kind of smile has no curvature, has edges and corners, and every detail shows the same thing: the owner of this smile is in a bad mood.

Many people who have seen this smile whispered in private that Marshal Caesar's smile is scarier than when he doesn't smile.

If the usual Caesar is already a cold iceberg, then Caesar with this cold smile is the dark ice in the bottom of the abyss, deeper, colder, and even more daunting.

This piece of ice ran rampant all the way, exuding an air-conditioning that repelled people thousands of miles away. Within an hour, it directly broke into Rose Castle from a garrison planet several light-years away. None of the difficulties could stop Caesar's footsteps.

His pace hadn't slowed even for an hour—until now.

"You are here."

The moment he saw Gu Qingxuan, Caesar suddenly slowed down, and when he hardly realized it, the smile on his face also softened.The dark ice that had sunk into the abyss rose out of the water again, and the grim icebergs gleamed happily in the warm light bathed in the bright sun.

Unlike Gu Yuan who was watching him closely, Caesar didn't seem to realize the existence of Gu Yuan not far away.He smiled and walked towards Gu Qingxuan, he didn't mention the dinner in the starship above his head, and he didn't mention how many rules he broke to come to Rose Castle within an hour, Caesar just walked over and stood in front of Gu Qingxuan , hugged him gently.

Such cherishing, such carefulness, as if what he embraced was not a person, but the whole world he cherished.

"A banquet is being held on the starship."

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Qingxuan said, Caesar quietly rubbed his cheek with his lips, and then Fang let him go under Gu Qingxuan's glance.

"Yes, it seems that there is indeed a banquet." He replied, "Want to eat something with me?"

Gu Qingxuan stared at him, Caesar looked back very calmly.His expression looked so natural and serious, as if he didn't know the nature of the banquet above... But if he really didn't know, how could he rush all the way back to the castle?

Gu Qingxuan just looked at him like this for a long, long time, and then suddenly smiled slowly.

"Why don't you ask me if I want to dance together?"

The dinner at Rose Castle tonight is an extremely formal dinner. Although there will be banquets at such a dinner, generally 80.00% of the time is spent on socializing and dancing.Dancing together is a very orthodox invitation in this kind of banquet, but eating together...?

Caesar looked up in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't like—"

"I really don't like it." Gu Qingxuan smiled at him: "Tonight, people kept inviting me to dance and chat together...but you are the only one who invites me to dinner."

"They probably don't know you as well as I do. After all, dancing is a traditional option." Caesar smiled, and Gu Qingxuan also smiled. He smiled and said, "But when you first invited me, we didn't dance together."

Indeed, instead of dancing together, they sat together - quite unbelievably - for a meal.

"Among the many people who invited me, most of them are worried about whether I will agree to their invitation, and a small number of people will think about some messy things, and only you will worry...worried that I didn't eat."

When he said this, there was a faint smile in Gu Qingxuan's words.

Gu Yuan suddenly felt sore in his heart, he remembered that he never seemed to pay attention to whether Gu Qingxuan was full.

Why had I never thought of this before?

Maybe it's because - because Gu Qingxuan looked too powerful in front of him, so strong that he seemed invulnerable, even his image was almost perfect, he didn't even think that Gu Qingxuan would feel... hungry?

Gu Yuan stared at the front with complicated expressions, Gu Qingxuan and Caesar were talking and laughing, Gu Qingxuan spread out his palm to show Caesar, on it was a very beautiful rose, which had been frozen and bloomed there forever .

"This rose blooms very much like you."

"No, he's not as good-looking as you."

He heard Caesar and Gu Qingxuan talking in a low voice.

He realized very clearly that he could no longer get in, and it seemed that he had lost the chance to say the words that he had not said all this time.

Gu Yuan took two steps back uncontrollably, and closed his eyes slightly: he didn't want to see this scene, and he didn't want to see the next thing they might have together, loving each other...

He didn't want to see himself completely reduced to a loser.

Caesar raised his eyes, and he seemed to see the rose bush not far away shaking slightly, as if someone was passing by behind.

— just passing by.
